The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 543

Chapter 543 Add This Into His Medicine

Yara frowned at the butler’s words.

“Tell me every single thing that happened,” she commanded. “Spare no details!”

Jefford painstakingly retold the events of the night, including the games and Kenneth’s impression of Natalie after she left. Yara’s face became increasingly grim as the story progressed.

This b*tch grew up in the countryside with Jennie! She’s my twin sister, yet her talent and grit far surpass me!

Taking a leaf out of Natalie’s book, Yara had initially tried to impress Kenneth with her chess skills. However, she soon discovered, to her disappointment, that it took more than sheer force of will to succeed in chess.

Forced to take the easier way out, she amended her plan in its later stages by pretending to lose to Kenneth and complimenting him with sweet words.

Unfortunately, as soon as Natalie came along, all my efforts suddenly seemed to pale in comparison.

Yara listened stony-faced without interrupting. When Jefford was done, she asked quietly, “Do you think Kenneth prefers me or Natalie?”

“Ms. Yara, please don’t get upset by what I might say.” After a brief hesitation, he continued, “You have been by his side for the past five years. I have seen that your efforts have been appreciated by him and as a result, occupy an important place in his heart. However…”

“Speak your mind.”

“However…” Jefford continued, with a wary eye at Yara.

“It might only take a few more visits from Natalie and her children for the work you’ve laid down for the past five years to come crashing down.”

Initially fearful to be subjected to the full extent of her wrath, she merely nodded to Jefford’s surprise. “Well said. That only proves that she is a formidable opponent.”

“Ms. Yara, what are you…” Jefford’s voice trailed off uncertainly.

“Add a pinch of this into Kenneth’s medication every day,” Yara instructed as she handed him a tiny porcelain vial.
